Niagara Falls

Taki

"Taki" means "Falls" in Japanese. Very authentic-style Japanese restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere. Pricy, but it's worth it.

Great breakfast options, normal inexpensive prices. Some hotels don't offer breakfast, or the breakfast included is terrible, in which case Tim Horton's is a great option and won't break the bank. Also worth mentioning, the lines move quite quickly, so don't be discouraged by a lengthy line. Breakfast for 3 costs $12.50.

A Brazilian BBQ restaurant, where for $36 per person you get all-you-can-eat servings of grilled steak, pork, chicken, lamb, sausage, etc. Outdoor patio. Samba music and dancers on Friday and Saturday nights. Very busy, and there can be a long wait for tables.

Romano's Macaroni Grill

Features an open kitchen, showcasing freshly prepared Italian foods.

Prices at this location are quite high, though you can expect a convenient location and a full menu. Also expect no wait, as the dining area is tremendous.

Lots of options including chicken, veal and steak entrees, grilled salmon, rack of lamb, ravioli, gnocchi, lasagna, wild mushroom risotto. Thin crust oven-baked pizzas. Soy spaghetti is available. Family friendly.

Normal Wendy's menu, however not normal Wendy's prices. There is no value menu, and expect everything you're used to ordering being about $2 extra. Also expect a 5-10 minute line. That said, there are great things about this Wendy's; Plenty of comfortable seating; Clean bathrooms; and most importantly a great view of Clifton Hill.

Antica Pizzeria

Thin-crust pizza made to order in wood-burning ovens. Can be busy at dinner time.

Very pleasant Japanese restaurant. They cook, Teppanyaki-style, at your table. It's some tasty stuff and for what you get, the price is reasonable. The building looks old and run-down from the outside but when you enter, it's like walking into a small pocket of Japan. Sushi bar. Take-out available. Reservations recommended.

Taco N' Tequila

Simple, yet good, Mexican fare and home of the 45 oz. margarita.

The Flying Saucer

Diner/greasy spoon. Home of the 99-cent breakfast two eggs, hash browns and toast served between 6AM and noon. Very busy on weekend mornings, but service is efficient.

Great hidden cafeteria style eatery. Incredible views of the fall through the floor to ceiling glass windows. Reasonable prices for great tasting food. Typical menu items: Pizza, Hamburgers, Hotdogs. Restaurant is in the courtyard outside the Maid of the Mist gift shop.

Basell's Restaurant & Tavern

A super-cheap restaurant that may look like "a little hole in the wall" but the food is delish. Try the special: soup du jour try the vegetable, coleslaw, potatoes or fries, tea or coffee, the special, AND frozen yogurt or ice cream for the end... all of that for only about 8 bucks.

Varied menu includes: hamburgers, quiche Lorraine, soups, salads, pasta, fish of the day, fish and chips, steak, rack of lamb, prime rib of beef. Vegetarian and children's menus.
